[UNCLASSIFIED] Official Information Request Reference: 2021-005 23 March 2021 Email [UNCLASSIFIED] Official Information request reference: 2021-005 23 March 2021 Email: Dear Thank you for your Official Information Act request, received on 17 March 2021 for the following: “all correspondence between Jan 11 and today between the Climate Change Commission and members of the media who were given embargoed materials on the draft report prior to February 1 at 1pm; any correspondence between any Commission staff, members of the Prime Minister’s office, School Strike for Climate, and reporters who asked to receive embargoed materials but were denied over the same period; any advice, documents or correspondence detailing why certain reporters and activists were given special treatment and why some should not receive earlier embargoed material”. Thank you for your patience with our need to extend the deadline for responding to your request out to 23 March 2021. We have interpreted your request to include the following material: • Discussions (emails) with journalists on the release of the Commission’s draft report (Attachment 1). • Correspondence with the Prime Minister’s Office on the draft report and its release on 31 January 2021 (Attachment 2). • Correspondence with journalists who were not given embargoed copies (Attachment 3). • Communications plans (including Board papers) relating to the release of the Commission’s draft (Attachment 4). • Internal emails on release planning (Attachment 5). Please note that Attachment 1 includes papers approved by the Board. The minutes of Board meetings (which will relate to some of these papers) are publicly available and can be accessed on our website: https://www.climatecommission.govt.nz/who-we-are/corporate-publications/commission-board-minutes/. The minutes of the January Board meeting have yet to be publicly released but the attached papers were approved by the Board. In relation to your request on communication with School Strike for Climate on the release of the embargoed materials, I can inform you that there is no material. As you may be aware, the Commission was working with School Strike for Climate on a webinar but none of this information relates to the release of the embargoed material for 31 January 2021. Some information contained in the attachments has been withheld under the following section of the Act: • section 9(2)(a) – to protect the privacy of natural persons, including that of deceased natural persons. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602. [UNCLASSIFIED] [UNCLASSIFIED] We have received several different requests for information on the media strategy and release planning for the launch of the Commission’s draft advice on 31 January 2021. You may also be interested in information from the other requests which is, or will shortly be, available on the Commission website at: https://www.climatecommission.govt.nz/who-we-are/corporate-publications/official-information-act-requests/ Considerable thought was put into how and when the draft advice would be provided to media. This recognised the public interest in the advice, and the importance of the media’s role in providing accurate and balanced information. It also recognised the significance of the advice and the risk of material being shared before the release date. In preparing to release the draft advice report to media, we looked at a number of factors: • The breadth of the advice report. We wanted to give reporters enough time to understand the detail before the report was released to the public. • The complexity of the report. We wanted to ensure accurate coverage that gave the public the detail they needed to understand the advice and consultation details. • The market implications of the emissions budgets. We wanted to follow best practice to ensure market sensitive information was not shared. • The risk of the report being leaked prior to its public release. Because of interest in the advice we worked to reduce this risk. To help stakeholders, the public and media understand the role of the Commission, the issues we were considering, and the approach we took in developing our advice (including our modelling, analytical approach and work with te ao Māori), we ran a comprehensive pre-consultation engagement programme. Media were invited to attend sessions to build their understanding of the Commission, the process, and the approach. They were also offered individual briefings in the months after the Commission’s establishment in December 2019. We developed an approach to releasing the advice that considered the above. This was to provide a redacted, embargoed copy of the advice to a named group of reporters that represented a cross-section of media in advance, and to then make it available from 26 January to all media by working with the Science Media Centre. Through discussions on this approach, the Chair of the Commission felt that enabling embargoed access to such a large number of people represented an unacceptable level of risk. The plan to release this information was subsequently amended, and the final release process was as follows: • the Chair requested to see and approve a list of named reporters that met the following criteria: used to working under an embargo, have existing relationship with the Commission (reporter or outlet), have an understanding of climate change science. • the redacted embargoed advice was available to the named reporters from Tuesday 26 January 2021. • to receive it, the reporters were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. • the redacted, embargoed copy was provided as a downloadable copy to some reporters, others received a hardcopy. • the embargo ended on Sunday 31 January 2021 at 2pm. The draft advice report was published on the Commission’s website. A media release was issued earlier that day with a spreadsheet of emissions budget numbers. The decisions on the release or amendment to the planning for release of the embargoed material were made by the Commission’s Chair. This is reflected in the minutes for the Board meeting held on 19 January 2021. We intend to release all board minutes on a quarterly basis on the Commission’s website. This means that the minutes in questions will be available around April 2021. I trust that the information provided fulfils your information request. Please note that the Commission has a policy to proactively release OIA responses to help others have access to more information. Consequently, this letter will be published on our website with your name and contact details redacted to protect your privacy.

  • China's Political Influence Activities Under Xi Jinping Professor
    Magic Weapons: China's political influence activities under Xi Jinping Professor Anne-Marie Brady Global Fellow, Wilson Center, Washington, DC; Department of Political Science and International Relations University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand In September 2014 Xi Jinping gave a speech on the importance of united front work— political influence activities—calling it one of the CCP’s “magic weapons”. The Chinese government’s foreign influence activities have accelerated under Xi. China’s foreign influence activities have the potential to undermine the sovereignty and integrity of the political system of targeted states. Conference paper presented at the conference on “The corrosion of democracy under China’s global influence,” supported by the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, and hosted in Arlington, Virginia, USA, September 16-17, 2017. Key points: • CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping is leading an accelerated expansion of political influence activities worldwide. • The expansion of these activities is connected to both the CCP government’s domestic pressures and foreign agenda. • The paper creates a template of the policies and modes of China’s expanded foreign influence activities in the Xi era. • The paper uses this template to examine the extent to which one representative small state, New Zealand, is being targeted by China’s new influence agenda. Executive Summary In June 2017 the New York Times and The Economist featured stories on China's political influence in Australia. The New York Times headline asked "Are Australia's Politics too Easy to Corrupt?,"1 while The Economist sarcastically referred to China as the "Meddle Country."2 The two articles were reacting to an investigation by Fairfax Media and ABC into the extent of China's political interference in Australia,3 that built on internal enquiries into the same issue by ASIO and Australia's Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet in 2015 and 2016.

  • Climate Action for Aotearoa
    25 March 2021 Our Ref: KM21-151 Dr Rod Carr Climate Change Commissioner PO Box 24448 WELLINGTON via email: [email protected] Tēnā koe Dr Carr, Climate Action for Aotearoa Thank you for giving The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners the opportunity to comment on the Climate Change Commission's first package of advice to government to help Aotearoa transition to a thriving, climate-resilient and low emissions future. The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners is the largest medical college in New Zealand. Our membership of 5,500 general practitioners comprises almost 40 percent of New Zealand’s specialist medical workforce. Our kaupapa is to set and maintain education and quality standards for general practice, and to support our members to provide competent and equitable patient care. Submission The College congratulates the Climate Change Commission on the release of this draft advice to government. Clearly there has been considerable thought and analysis devoted to the production of this important advice. However, the College considers that the advice should place more emphasis on climate change as a health issue, and on the co-benefits for health of responses to climate change. Climate change is a health issue Dr Margaret Chan, the former WHO Director-General recently stated that “achieving net zero emissions is the most important global health intervention now and for decades to come,” and that the “health benefits will outweigh the costs of mitigation policies, even without considering the longer-term health and economic benefits of avoiding more severe climate change.”1 Her statements are echoed closer to home by the Royal Society in their 2017 report “Human Health Impacts of Climate Change for New Zealand.” “Climate change is affecting New Zealand and the health of New Zealanders as many factors that contribute to our health and well-being are threatened by climate change.

  • 26 March 2021 Rod Carr, Chairman Jo Hendy, CEO Climate Change Commission Tēnā Kōrua 15-Year Carbon Budgets for Aotearoa
    26 March 2021 Rod Carr, Chairman Jo Hendy, CEO Climate Change Commission Tēnā kōrua 15-year carbon budgets for Aotearoa Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback and input as the Commission performs its crucial role advising the New Zealand Government on its first 15-year carbon budgets. Refining NZ is regarded as one of the safest and most reliable refineries in the region. Based at Marsden Point in Northland, we are the only oil refinery in Aotearoa. We supply transport fuel around the country and to the Auckland region through the Refinery to Auckland Pipeline (RAP). As a Northland business we are strongly committed to our people, our community, our environment and our economy. As a critical part of our country’s energy infrastructure, Refining NZ supplies: • most of New Zealand’s jet fuel • more than half the country’s diesel and petrol • fuel oil for ships • sulphur for farm fertiliser • CO2 for the foods and drinks industry. A little under half of the fuel we produce today is delivered via the RAP, which is the most efficient and lowest- carbon supply route for fuel to Auckland. We recognise that Refining NZ’s infrastructure has an important part to play in helping Aotearoa reduce direct emissions and decarbonise our economy over the next 30 years. Refining NZ supports the Climate Change Commission’s role and its vision of a fair and equitable transition to a low carbon economy. We, too, want to see a thriving and climate-resilient Aotearoa for current and future generations. But to make this vision a reality, we need to take a strategic, considered approach.

  • He Pou a Rangi Climate Change Commission 2021 Draft Advice for Consultation
    Submission He Pou a Rangi Climate Change Commission 2021 Draft Advice for Consultation March 2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Institute welcomes the 2021Draft Advice for Consultation (Draft Advice). The Institute would like to acknowledge the clear and concise nature of the Draft Advice. The way the authors have structured the dense information and complex ideas is exemplary. The Draft Advice is very easy to read and well organised. This enabled our team to have a great deal of debate, gather our ideas and put forward a range of suggestions and high-level observations. Thank you for making the consultation process easy to navigate; the difficult part was finding agreement amongst ourselves as to what institutions, instruments and information should be put in place to respond effectively to the grand challenge that climate change has become. The submission is broken down into three parts, plus attachments. Part 1 discusses what we have learned since operating in the long-term futures space, with a particular focus on the need for linkages and alignment between foresight, strategy and reporting and the trials and tribulations that exist in the climate change policy space. Part 2 aims to respond to the six ‘opinion’ questions set by the Commissioners. These questions were difficult to respond to because the relevant research was not easy to find, read or have confidence in. Further, much of the research is not undertaken in New Zealand nor timely. Given this, we have attempted to answer these questions and rely on the evidence we have at hand. However, this exercise illustrated a significant lack of useful research in New Zealand, and the need to repeat research over time to show progress, i.e., what works and what does not.

  • Critical Literacy in Support of Critical-Citizenship Education in Social Studies
    TEACHING AND LEARNING Critical literacy in support of critical-citizenship education in social studies JANE ABBISS KEY POINTS • Critical-literacy approaches support justice-oriented, critical-citizenship education in social studies. • Developing learner criticality involves analysis of texts, including exploration of author viewpoints, assumptions made, matters of inclusion, and learner responses to social issues and how they are represented in texts. • Taking a critical literacy approach to support critical citizenship involves re-thinking how students in social studies engage with media sources. • Critical literacy aids informed decision-making on social issues. https://doi.org/10.18296/set.0054 set 3, 2016 29 TEACHING AND LEARNING How might social-studies teachers enact critical forms of citizenship education in classrooms and what pedagogies support this? This question is explored in relation to literature about critical citizenship and critical literacy. Also, possibilities for practice are considered and two approaches for critical literacy in social studies are presented: a) using critical questions to engage with texts; and b) focusing on media literacy in relation to current events. It is argued that critical literacy offers a collection of approaches that support justice-oriented, critical-citizenship education in social studies. Introduction Methodologically, this article presents a literature- based, small-scale practitioner inquiry relating to The aim of this article is twofold: first, to briefly challenges in supporting citizenship teaching and explore some contested views of citizenship education learning in social studies. At its core is a commitment and to consider the aims and foundations of critical to informing practice (Cochrane-Smith & Donnell, literacy as a collection of pedagogical approaches 2006; Smith & Helfenbein, 2009).

  • WHERE ARE the AUDIENCES? August 2021 Introduction
    WHERE ARE THE AUDIENCES? August 2021 Introduction • New Zealand On Air (NZ On Air) supports and funds public media content for New Zealand audiences, focussing on authentic NZ stories and songs that reflect New Zealand’s cultural identity and help build social cohesion, inclusion and connection. • It is therefore essential NZ On Air has an accurate understanding of the evolving media behaviour of NZ audiences. • The Where Are The Audiences? study delivers an objective measure of NZ audience behaviour at a time when continuous single source audience measurement is still in development. • This document presents the findings of the 2021 study. This is the fifth wave of the study since the benchmark in 2014 and provides not only a snapshot of current audience behaviour but also how behaviour is evolving over time. • NZ On Air aims to hold a mirror up to New Zealand and its people. The 2021 Where Are The Audiences? study will contribute to this goal by: – Informing NZ On Air’s content and platform strategy as well as the assessment of specific content proposals – Positioning NZ On Air as a knowledge leader with stakeholders. – Maintaining NZ On Air’s platform neutral approach to funding and support, and ensuring decisions are based on objective, single source, multi-media audience information. Glasshouse Consulting July 21 2 Potential impact of Covid 19 on the 2020 study • The Where Are The Audiences? study has always been conducted in April and May to ensure results are not influenced by seasonal audience patterns. • However in 2020 the study was delayed to May-June due to levels 3 and 4 Covid 19 lockdown prior to this period.
